Certificate of Merit in Floral Design

Same comprehensive content … new names!

We’re changing—and streamlining—our floral design course names to better communicate all of our floral design options available to you. Please refer to the below chart for those new class names. All credits received for classes taken under previous names are still valid and all course content remains the same. Students must take Floral Design 1 as a prerequisite for Floral Design 2, 3, and 4. Floral Design 2, 3, and 4 may be taken in any order. 

Please note: Upon completion, only our online synchronous and in-person floral design classes include credits toward our Certificate of Merit program; Certificate of Merit program credits are not granted as part of our self-paced floral design classes.
